Who's turning two?

I'm having the hardest time deciding on a theme for Zoe's birthday party!

These are the ones in my head....

Candyland
Sesame Street
Cat in the Hat


and the last one is the Circus... but I don't have a photo inspiration for that one becuse I have a specific circus look in mind. 
Although my party wouldn't look like any of these because I'd do it my own way :) But it's just inspiration...
I have a top two pick from these 4.  But I want to see what you all think!
Thoughts?

Run Logann, Run!

Saturday we were supposed to go to moms to scrapbook...Logann had a make up softball game so Zoe and I went with Melissa.  We figured we'd be back in a decent amount of time and then we'd scrap.   Well the game before Logann's ran late, so Logann's game started really late.  Zoe was awesome during the entire game.  I took our fabulous 31 gifts picnic blanket, and put it on the ground between the bleachers and the fence.  She played, had some snacks, colored, watched the game and watched the bugs in the dirt. 


Logann got to play at the pitchers mound because the girl who typically plays there wasn't at the game.  (She didn't like it, she said the girl could gladly have her spot back)


She's a lefty so we could see her face! :)
 This one is blurry, but I love her "pose" :)
She was yelling for logann to "go"

 This is so out of focus, and has horrible lens distortion...but I LOVE it!
Of course OOOWWWLLL had to come to the game too.  He got really dirty and had to have a bath the next morning!

Game over!

I'm so glad we got to go and watch Logann.  She loved having us there, Melissa did too.  Zoe loved it too!  It's so weird to think my little Logi bear is almost 8!

Miss Zoe!

I owe you, a long over due Zoe update!

Where do I even begin....she's a ball of spunk.

She's now 21 months old.  (Will be two in August)  She can walk, she can talk, she can run, and she can talk back too.  She likes to tell us "NO" and cross her arms and turn away from us. 

She knows a TON of animals, and their sounds.
She's pretty good at her colors.  Some of them are still hit and miss, but she's getting better at them.  Letters; we're still working on those.  She knows "O"  but that's the only one that she gets everytime.
She loves to "lullur" (Color).  Loves to swim/take a bath.  And loves Kitties, well just about any animal actually.  But especially "titties" & "dogdogs." 

We were outside doing sidewalk chalk and I drew a big square on the driveway and taught her and Alyvia to jump "in" & "out".  They were hilliarious. I tried to take a video, but of course they stop doing it as cute when I get my phone out. 

She still LOVES her "Gee" (her blanket)  and her owl.   The owl is a stuffed one from build-a-bear that we built for her when she was an itty bitty baby.  It sat in her room for months and one day she saw it; asked for it, I told her what it was and ever since then she's been attached to it.  He goes wherever we go (along with the gee).  They both get washed about once a week. 

She is a very well behaved little girl; for the most part.  She has developed an attitude latley, but I can say that when we are out in public she is almost always very well behaved.  Saturday we went to Logann's softball game.  The game started late and then it lasted longer than normal.  She didn't complain once.  I took our blanket and had it down on the ground.  I sat on it with her, and she just played and watched the game.  (I have photos I'll post soon!)

She has a millon words.  I can't even being to list them all.
She likes to take attendence of people;  we go through the list about 3 times a day.  "Noal? nini (granny)?, Kasch?, lyvi?, warah? (Sarah), Hayden?, Hayden?"  sometimes not all of them and sometimes different people are thrown in there too!

She peed in the potty for the first time today!  I know she's not going to be wearing big girl panties tomorrow, but I've just been trying to get her interested in it.  Today she actually wanted to go.  I took off her diaper and she sat and went!!  We made a big deal out of it; and she got a skittle as a treat! 
Funny side story; she won't ever eat sweet stuff.  No cake, no ice cream, no cupcakes, no chocolate, no candy just suckers.  But I offered her the skittle & she ate it!

I know there's other things...I Just can't think of them right now.

Kitty!

I know I owe you a TON of blogging...and I WILL get to that SOON.  I promise.
But for now, this happened today and I just had to post it before I forgot it :)

We were eat lunch...Zoe was done.  She was playing, she took her "bairbows" (hairbows) out of her hair (pig tails)  and was playing with them.  The cat was laying by the door, well Zoe dropped the hairbows and they went right by Bailey's back legs, at her stomach.  Zoe knows Bailey doesn't like her...(Bailey has bit her, and scratched her a few times) so she knows not to mess with her.  Well she was having a cow (Zoe was) because she wanted the hairbows, but she thought Bailey would get her if she got that close to her back legs.  She kept telling me "hairbow, hairbow."  I told her to go ahead and get them, I was waching and I told Bailey to be nice (which usually makes her be nice).  Zoe wouldn't do it...so she walks away, picks up this other toy, walks back over to Bailey and throws it at her, to make her get up and run away...then she bent down and picked up her hairbows!
haha we were cracking up!  Smart little booger!

ps, Bailey was not harmed.  It was a little toy and light weight!
